   Don Lemon's mugshot is a masterpiece of cosmic justice.

   That smug, sanctimonious face... finally stripped of the studio lights, the   
   teleprompter, the endless moral preening... now framed in county jail orange   
   like the cheap convict he always was beneath the bespoke suits.   
      
   Look close: the eyes are dead. The mouth that endlessly lectured America for   
   years about "decency" and "accountability" is clamped shut, because for once   
   there's no corporate handler to bail him out in his ear with a scripted   
   apology.   
      
   He thought he could trespass onto private property-- into a church-- and   
   remain there even after being explicitly told to leave, camera crew in tow,   
   playing the noble truth-teller while obstructing everyone else's rights.   
      
   Turns out the 1st Amendment cuts both ways, Don.   
      
   "Trespass after warning" is a crime. As is violating the FACE Act, which you   
   now claim violates the 1st Amendment. Well, you didn't seem to have a problem   
   with the FACE Act or believe it violated the 1st Amendment when Biden's DOJ   
   was using it to lock up little old ladies for doing nothing more than silently   
   praying on PUBLIC PROPERTY on the sidewalk outside an abortion clinic.   
      
   But you can storm into a church and completely disrupt the services and refuse   
   to leave PRIVATE PROPERTY when asked and suddenly it's "Do we even have a   
   Constitution anymore?"   
      
   Enjoy the holding cell, sweetheart. The soap's on the floor and nobody in   
   there cares about your ratings.   
      
   Karma doesn’t negotiate. It just delivers.
